Railroad Iuspectiou.

The frequency Of railroad horrors of late
may be very fortunate thing, for many
Of them concentrated into space Of few
weeks are much more impressive than
when scattered over o year, and II the
roads will ever be forced to proper caution
it can only be through earnest and con.
tinued popular demand for it, stimulated
by the vivid presence Of the danger. The
accidents Of late have caused the travelling
public to raise o firm demand for state
inspection Of road bed and rolling stock,
with laws establishing the requirements
consistent with safety. There are several
theories to account for the collapse Of the
" tin bridge "at Boston, but the discovery
of an old and rusted fracture in the iron
girder is evidence that proper inspection
would have condemned it and possibly
have averted the accident. As the con.
slant jarring often changes the nature Of
the metal, there must always be an ele.
ment Of danger in iron bridges, and 1t may
be very difficult to avoid accidents from
broken rails, but in these days Of scientific
method it should not be hard to establish a
system of testing both the materials Of
construction and the plant in use. Sound
may be used as q test and rail
can readily, in reply to a blow from q
hammer, be made to tell whether
1t Is reliable. There is no doubt tha,
science can furnish an expert with means to
detect failure in the sufficiency Of bridge
and track and cars to safely do their work
il it is called upon. Railroad officials are
supposed to be sufficiently interested, in q
pecuniary way, to endeavor to secure ths
needed safety Of their tracks and trains
but the suppositiof. does not seem to b
sustained by experience. There is NO
such thorough and competent inspection
practiced upon all roads as ther
should be and the question is whethe
there should not be legislation I
enforce such inspection. We believe it
conceded that iron and steel have limite
| life in bridges, especially where constar
jar produces crystallization. 1t would seel
to be proper that railroad bridgesat lea
should be stately inspected by state a,
thority. Their cost is so great, and tt
consequent reluctance of railroad to r
place them when they should be r
placed, so natural, that the state authori
to secure needed renewal, seems needed f,
the public safety.

The Truth About the Deal.

There surely needs to be some curb put
upon the disposition Of the journals Of
the larger cities to announce as facts what
they well know to be fiction, and to lie un-
blushingly and in detail. This Baltimore
& Ohio story is the last and worst specimen
of the style. The enterprising journals
of New York and Philadelphia have en-.
joyed bonanza in it for week, and still
have columns OF statements to make pur.
porting to give the very exactest truth
about it. The work is easy because it is all
Of the imagination. Upon faint fact for
foundation We are told wonderful tales of
combinations and counter combinations
and the great Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road is tossed about from Tom to Dick as
though it was buta mouthful for any TOM
tit of stock speculator to buy and swal.
low.
The fact about the matter seems simply
to be that Mr.. Garrett is still seeking, as he
has long been doing, to get his railroad to
New York. He was lately unexpectedly
defeated by the alliance Of the Reading rail.
roads new management with the Pennsyl.
vania railroad, after he had built road to
Philadelphia to join the Reading, under an
agreement with the receivers. 1t seems
that this agreement does not hold water.
Mr.. Garrett undertook negotiation with
Mr.. Corbin and the parties who control a
great system Of roads leading south from
Richmond, by which he carried them to
Philadelphia with the Baltimore & Ohio,
and they were to carry him to New York
by the Reading and Jersey Central, which
they were supposed to control. The ar.
rangement seems to hang fire because of
the failure of the second parties to control
the New York and Philadelphia connec,
tion. The Pennsylvania railroad has a
strong grip upon the men who will have
the control of the Reading under the reor.
ganization scheme, and to whom its control
seems already to be conGded by the re.
| ceivers.
